St. Patrick’s To Close At End Of School Year

ELIZABETH – St. Patrick’s High School, the oldest parochial high school in New Jersey, will close at the end of the school year due to shrinking enrollment and financial pressures.

The school became well-known for its basketball program, which has sent many players to Division I colleges. Several went on to the NBA, including Kyrie Irving of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Al Harrington of the Denver Nuggets and Samuel Delembert of the Houston Rockets.
